Spike raised his eyebrows.
“So, you are still a virgin.”
Crash huffed and aimed a punch at Spike’s shoulder. Spike laughed, skirting out of reach.
“If you’re after free advice with the ladies,” he said. “You can bend my ear any day of the week, Crash. You know that.”
I smiled sweetly at Spike.
“Honey,” I called in a sing-song voice.
Gideon raised his head from the pool game he was playing with Hot Shot and Credence.
“Yeah, baby?”
“Spike is flirting with me.”
Gideon set his pool cue down on the table with a resounding thwack that echoed in the room. Spike went pale with a muttered oh shit under his breath before he darted away.
“What did I tell you about flirting with my woman?” Gideon called after him.
I chuckled and returned my attention to Crash, resting my chin in my hand.
“Go ahead, Crash,” I said. “What were you going to ask me? Spike won’t bother us anymore.”
He scratched at his ear and released a shaky breath.
“Well, um…I’ve been talking to this girl on a dating app,” he said, pitching his voice low. “Don’t tell the guys, okay? They would never stop teasing me if they knew.”
I pretended to drag a zipper across my lips.
“Your secret is safe with me.”
Relief flashed in his eyes.
“Okay, cool. Good. She said her birthday is this weekend, so I was going to ask her out to dinner, maybe bring her flowers. But there are so many options. How do I know what she would like?”
I bit the inside of my cheek to hide a smile. It was an honor that Crash would trust me like this. It showed just far I’d come with the club. They really did treat me like a sister that they cared for. When he pulled out his phone and started showing me bouquets, I squeezed his shoulder.
“Crash, can I let you in on a secret? It’s top-secret girl-code. You can’t let anyone else know about it. Especially not Spike.”
He straightened his spine, alert.
“Yeah, sure. What is it?”
I leaned in closer.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of flowers you get her. She will love them because you thought of her. Because you made her feel special.”
Crash blinked.
“Really?”
I nodded. A grin spread across his face and he hopped off the bar stool.
“Thanks, Liss. You’re the best.”
After Crash left, Gideon came up to my side and pressed a kiss to my temple.
